if it's for a cold steel hawk, you have to order from them.
a source I've used in the past for other hawks is crazy crow trading post. not always the best handles, but the price is fair enough to make up for the occasional crooked one.

Dunlap wood crafts in Va is the best Ive found..

Hardware stores usually have spare wood hammer handles that work okay as blanks, and you know they're gonna be durable.

I've also used pieces off of crates used to ship lawnmowers. The crates are usually just tossed out by the stores because they can't be used again, so you can get them for free. The best part is that they are usually made out of otherwise unusable pieces of hickory or walnut for the base.

Those curly maple ones from Hawkins Knife Supply look very nice. Has anyone had any experience using them with Cold Steel heads? Do they require a lot of fitting?

I make my own from hickory sledgehammer handles.
